Turbosealtech New Incubator and Office Building | New Wave Architecture

New Wave architecture designed the “Turbosealtech” business incubator and office building. The project is based in Tehran’s Pardis Technology Park, which intends to create a platform for people to research and innovate. Pardis Technology Park is comprised of innovations by Iranian architects, and this project follows the tradition of conveying the vision of Iranian architects through its design team.

Turbosealtech New Incubator and Office Building’s Design Concept

The area of Turbosealtech is 2500 square meters, making it a medium-sized project. The design strategy centered on the intersection of technology, site, function, and landscape. The form was created with considerations for site view continuity, heat control, and building function in mind. The volume of the building is drawn out of the earth, resulting in a visually appealing skyline and environmental harmony.

The building’s façade is enclosed in a glass envelope, allowing natural light while the aluminum profiles on the outer layer regulate interior heat gain. The exposed structure used for the inside is obtained from the building’s form, which depicts the typical construction of industrial structures. The five horizontal levels of the glass pyramid-shaped building are nicely connected vertically by a transparent elevator. The interior areas are meant to encourage interaction among users.

Offices are on the higher levels, and an open-plan workhouse in a transparent enclosure on the lower levels allows visitors to see the company’s production. The entryway, which is positioned in the triangle corner of the building, encourages users to enter. The cut-out roof creates a terrace that lets in natural light and air and a common outdoor place for visitors and employees to get some fresh air, mingle, and work.

The slanted roof is completely voided to create a green corridor from ground to roof, creating a dynamic space while lowering building temperature and energy consumption. A water tank is also installed next to the building to collect rainwater for irrigation and non-potable usage.
